This our reality. @realDonaldTrump says it is what it is. I am so ashamed we have allowed a putrid vile man to enter our WH and bully, demean, belittle, turn a wayward ear, smirk, and destroy our democracy....before and during this pandemic. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”
Media forced out at as well.
Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone.
This is a sad day for Tennessee.
Republicans want to control what books you read & what history you learn.
They want to control who you are and who you love.
They want to control our bodies.
They want to control everything except what would prevent mass preventable deaths of children.
It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.
What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.
Can’t solve the pandemic under capitalism. Can’t solve the climate emergency under capitalism. Can’t stop this eviction crisis under capitalism. I’m seeing a common denominator.
The big lie in the Republican Party is all about race
They're only trying to recount heavily African American areas
So basically Republicans are saying they don't want African Americans to vote their actions clearly say this They're passing laws to prevent black's from voting
BEFORE anyone dismisses @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy's "joke" (it's NOT a joke) about hitting @SpeakerPelosi with a gavel, consider McCarthy voted AGAINST the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT and his Republican colleagues have DELIBERATELY obstructed it.
There is a PATTERN against women.
I want to be clear - the majority of #COVID19 spread in the US is among the unvaccinated. Vaccinated people can spread the virus if they get a breakthrough infection, but the odds of them getting sick in the first place are far lower than those who are unvaccinated.
